Meaning & origin
Zabrina is a modern American coinage that first appeared in Social Security records in 1965. It is most likely a variant of Sabrina, a name that itself has uncertain origins but may be linked to the River Severn in England. Zabrina saw its greatest popularity in the 1970s, reaching a peak rank in 1977. Since 1997, its usage has been in decline, and as of 2025, it does not appear in the top 1000 names. The name has not been especially common in any particular U.S. state, and it remains an uncommon choice for baby girls today.
Zabrina first appeared in the United States in the 1960s, possibly as a creative spelling of Sabrina, a name of uncertain etymology often linked to the River Severn in Britain. The name gained modest popularity in the 1970s, peaking in 1977, and has since declined in use.
